I reach out my hand
But thereís no one there
To hold onto mine
I close my eyes
Holding back tears
I wonít cry this time
No one would see me anyway
And itís just another day

This is my solitude
This is the life I know
Thereís no one here
But Iím never alone
ĎCause the quiet is not silence
Iím here with You
Lord, in my solitude

If everyoneís lonely
Then I donít understand
Why no one lets me in
I reach out in vain
Despite my fears
Of being hurt again
ĎCause I donít know what to say
But itís just another day

This is my solitude
This is the life I know
Thereís no one here
But Iím never alone
ĎCause the quiet is not silence
Iím here with You
Lord, in my solitude

And I know that itís Your love in me
That keeps me reaching out
I find myself moved by Your mercy
Despite all of my doubts
Every moment You move my soul to pray
Now I know that Youíre with me every day

This is my solitude
This is the life I know
Thereís no one here
But Iím never alone
ĎCause the quiet is not silence
Iím here with You
Lord, in my solitude

Matthew 28:19-20 "Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world."

If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW
